Those guys who are in HS just enroll and sign in February, the JUCO guys sign earlier.

Of course it does. It guarantees you that you have one. Otherwise with no LOI it can and probably will be gone.

There are multiple reasons that there needs to be a rule adjustment of some kind for this. Sure it's within the rules now. All we are saying is change the rules to where it is not. By your logic, why even have a signing day?

If a school is willing to hold a scholly for the guy or guys what does it matter?? They are choosing to do this, if they don't want the headache then they can tell the guy to go elsewhere.

If and only if there is scholarship available from the previous years class. They must enroll mid-term of the current year.

Early enrollees just enroll. There is no need for an LOI, because once they are enrolled, they can't go to another school without a transfer. JuCo early enrollees do sign a LOI. My feeling for the reason behind that is, if they fail to qualify for some reason, it binds them to that school. Not exactly sure, but I am positive that they sign LOIs.

They shouldn't have to make that choice is the entire point here.

If there aren't enough schollies to count back, they can still enroll early. They just count toward the current year's allotment.

IS your LOI, your scholarship?

An LOI just guarantees your financial aid agreement with the school. It doesn't guarantee you a spot on the team or anything else.....

This is straight from the NCAA....

By signing a National Letter of Intent am I guaranteed that I will play on a team?

No. Signing a National Letter of Intent does not guarantee you playing time or a spot on the team. Rather, by signing a National Letter of Intent, the institution with which you signed agrees to provide you athletics financial aid for the academic year.

Thats true. I mis read the quote. I was thinking past the 25 scholarship limit issue.

No, it's just basically a financial aid guarantee.

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but no. Your LOI is separate from your scholarship. It just signifies your intent to sign with that school.

No, it's tied to it based on the financial side.
